What is 25% duty cycle?
25% Duty Cycle
If an air compressor has a 25% duty cycle, it means the run time is one-fourth of the total cycle time. Therefore, if the compressor has a cycle time of 120 seconds, the run time would last for 30 seconds.
How do you create a 25% duty cycle?
You can generate the 25% duty cycle by simply replacing the waveform that IC1B outputs with the one that gate IC1C outputs. If the active level is low instead of high, you can simply interchange the outputs of IC1B and IC1C.
What is a 100% duty cycle?
A 100% duty cycle simply means the compressor will deliver a consistent CFM and PSI the entire time the compressor is in use, which is different than being able to run continuously.
What is a normal duty cycle?
Duty cycle is the ratio of time a load or circuit is ON compared to the time the load or circuit is OFF. Duty cycle, sometimes called "duty factor," is expressed as a percentage of ON time. A 60% duty cycle is a signal that is ON 60% of the time and OFF the other 40%.
